10 Somewhat on that topic, if it hasn't already been considered, it would be nice
11 if Portage kept track of enough info so that 'emerge -C gnome' (for example)
12 uninstalled everything that was installed for 'gnome' (including
13 dependencies) unless they are depended on by another package installed later.
14 Likewise, a warning when a user is uninstalling a package that something else
15 still depends on would be good.
